1. I have informed the groomer of any potential medical or behavioral issues my pet experiences including, but not limited to, cardiac conditions, arthritis, seizures, aggression, or anxiety.
2. I understand that the greatest care will be taken with my pet; however, even with all precautions taken problems do arise on occasion, such as nicks, clipper irritation, and/or stress. In case of any accidents or emergencies, Elkridge Animal Hospital will contact you at the earliest ability.
I authorize Elkridge Animal Hospital to administer appropriate care, if necessary, and I assume full financial responsibility. All payments are due at time of discharge.
3. Matting or severely tangled hair can increase the risk of injury and will incur additional charges due to the extra time and care needed. Sometimes, matting can hide skin infections or irritations that are only seen once the matting is removed. Elkridge Animal Hospital will notify you if any medical concerns.
Please ask the groomer at drop off regarding any additional costs if your pet is matted.
4. Aggressive pets may be charged a special handling fee of $25.00.
5. Aggressive, senior, or disabled pets may not be able to be finished in one session and may be asked to return on another day and time to complete the grooming. Oral medication to help alleviate stress and/ or to reduce hyperactivity may be required. Medications dispensed by Elkridge Animal Hospital require a recent exam by an Elkridge Animal Hospital veterinarian.
6. I understand that Elkridge Animal Hospital is not responsible for any lost items e.g. leashes, collars.
7. I understand that repetitive last-minute cancelations may result in a non-refundable deposit being required to schedule future grooming appointments.
8. I understand that payment for all services rendered is required at time of discharge.
9. This consent form is valid for today and future grooming services for the next six (6) months.
I have read and agree to the above listed terms and conditions.
